Jon Lieber start mid-game thread....

[skippy]

dammit!! 1-0 lead for detroit on a sac fly by pudge.. blah

[skippy]

jon lieber gets out of the 1st on a weird popup to second base... 1 run scored
1-0 detroit, yankees get second try at-bat

[skippy]

damn, arod gets a leadoff walk, then ruben sierra grounds into a DP.... bernie williams flies out to end the inning... time to score some runs!!! :banana:

[milky_way]

hey skippy! :wave1:

Fricken Munson owns us... :angry:

[milky_way]

shit :angry:

[milky_way]

3-0 Tigers

Man Bernie's arm is weak :(

[milky_way]

WTF was that?

[milky_way]

IT HIT HIS FOOT MORON! :angry:

[skippy]

hey milky_way! nice to see you, thought I was going to talk to myself this game :)


well, tiger stadium is definitely not fair, tony clark hits one 420 feet, what's that? IT'S A DOUBLE!! yeah... a 420 foot double....

[skippy]

damn, flahrety hits it hard but lines out to the 3rd basemen

[milky_way]

Lol, yeah I hate these ultra far away fences too :eviltongu

Ugh, now Flaherty smokes one but it's right at the third baseman :hmm:

[skippy]

damn, tony clark's "double" goes for naught when cairo pops out.

[milky_way]

Double stranded :(

Dammit Miggie's slumping :(

[milky_way]

Wow Lieber just hit 93 :eek:

[skippy]

single for guillen.... sheff shoulda dived for that ;)

[milky_way]

WTF Sheff? Lol, you could have gotten that....

Oh for the days Guillen sucked with Seattle... :loser:

[skippy]

Wow Lieber just hit 93 :eek:



yeah, he's throwing it hard, but I think flahrety has too little experience to know he needs his pitches low and keeps calling for fastballs..... POSADA POSADA POSADA!!!

[milky_way]

I hate when Sheff and Lofton make those one handed catches. Two hands, boys, TWO HANDS! :eek:

[skippy]

NICE PLAY!!! flahrety blocked a ball in the dirt and threw it to first to get guillen out, just one more out needed!

[milky_way]

Bahaha, picked off :smokin:

[skippy]

argh, this is not my miguel :( ball off the glove of miguel cairo "single" into right field

[milky_way]

Defense giveth, defense taketh away :angry:

E4

[skippy]

no runs (finally) when munson pops out in foul territory

[milky_way]

TIME TO SCORE YANKS! :banana:

[milky_way]

BAH! :angry: We have no luck today :(

[skippy]

meh, we're hitting amazing line drives off of him, eventually his defense won't be able to sustain it

[milky_way]

Dumbass announcers jinxed Sheff. K.

[skippy]

A-Rod got a double that would probably be a home run, again this stupid wall thing is NOT fair, 435 foot double....

[milky_way]

That's a homer in every other park in the universe :(

Oh well, I'll take the double.

[skippy]

THE RUBE MACHINE HITS A HOMER!!! finally, one hits it far enough to get a homer...


we now have 9 players with 10 or more home runs!!

[milky_way]

okay THAT'S a homer :D

[skippy]

bernie grounds out, now ties his worst slump ever a few years ago going 0 for his last 23... stupid announcers jinxed it by mentioning the slump :evillol :bonehead

[milky_way]

oh jeez...a couple more hitless games and Bernie's slump approaches Jeter Slump status :eek: http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/cwm/cwm/erm.gif

[skippy]

oh jeez...a couple more hitless games and Bernie's slump approaches Jeter Slump status :eek: http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/cwm/cwm/erm.gif



haha, lets hope he has an explosive month to break out of it like jeter did ;)

[skippy]

AGAIN! miggy misses a ball while diving.... argh

[milky_way]

That was a tough play...it would have been a web gem if Miggie got that...

[skippy]

That was a tough play...it would have been a web gem if Miggie got that...



;)

miggy would have gotten that on one of his better days

[milky_way]

Haha Marcus Thames. He'll always be the dude that hit a grand slam off of Randy Johnson in his first big league at-bat to me.

That was one of the best trades we've made recently :cool:

[skippy]

Inge grounds out to A-Rod, end of inning, lieber seems to have calmed down....

[milky_way]

Liebs is settling down :smokin:

TIE IT UP YANKS! :banana:

[milky_way]

They turned Kenny's error last night into a hit for Pudge?

Wow, talk about home bias :evillol

[milky_way]

Holy crap, Tony averaged 43 points as a basketball player in his senior year in high school :eek:

[milky_way]

Oh man Clark runs slow. Hell of a throw by Guillen

[skippy]

aaaaaaaaaarrrghhhhhh, come on yanks tie it up next inning!!

[milky_way]

WTF?!??? We really have no luck today :angry:

[skippy]

Oh man Clark runs slow. Hell of a throw by Guillen



yeah, if it was lofton running Guillen would have no play :bonehead

[milky_way]

Wow, Comerica is one bigass park :eek:. I wonder what the maximum capacity is...

[milky_way]

A pair of nice plays by Tony :cool:

SCORE YANKS! :banana:

[skippy]

ARGH.... another line drive caught, well at least we know we're not asleep, they're just in the perfect positions so far

[milky_way]

Jete's hitting the ball well, but right at people :(

[skippy]

gaah, K for the 2nd out.... lets see an A-Bomb A-Rod..... :banana:

[milky_way]

Sheff has struck out a lot this series http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/cwm/cwm/erm.gif

[milky_way]

:angry:

C'mon Yanks, we LIT THIS GUY UP last time...

[skippy]

BAH, late inning rally... rally... rally... I really hope we start winning, I really don't want our losing bullpen to come into this, when we're winning, the winning bullpen is amazing... when we're losing our bullpen tends to... suck

[milky_way]

LOL, so true skip.

Liebs is up to 80 pitches...we may indeed see Mr. Heredia in this game :eek:

[milky_way]

Liebs lookin niiiice :smokin:

[skippy]

finally, a 1-2-3 inning for lieber, 5 K's for him so far....

[skippy]

LOL, so true skip.

Liebs is up to 80 pitches...we may indeed see Mr. Heredia in this game :eek:


lieber is a bulldog, he'll pitch 200 pitches if he needs to :)



HEREDIA?? :bolt:

[skippy]

yes!!!

looks like Bernie wont break his slump record :evillol

[milky_way]

No Jeter slump for Bernie :smokin:

[milky_way]

That was pathetic :angry:

[milky_way]

UGH :angry:

[skippy]

AARGGH


lieber gives up a homer, 4-2 tigers... god I'm PRAYING for a late inning 3 run rally or something

[skippy]

well, lets hope this score stays the same, and we get to see tigers bullpen...

the bullpen is 7-13 with a 4.56 ERA, so we sorta have a chance

[milky_way]

Robertson's up to 82 pitches...we need to knock him out this next inning...

[skippy]

oh goodie... joe torre takes out lieber, please say it's the big Q.... PLEASE!!

[milky_way]

That's it for Liebs.

Big moment here. Heredia or Quantrill? There are two directions this game could go :eek:

[milky_way]

It's Q

Man his arm is going to fall off soon :(

[skippy]

It's Q

Man his arm is going to fall off soon :(



haha, knowing Q, if it does, he'll instantly learn how to throw with his left hand

[skippy]

Q does his job, a little dramatically but he gets the final out nonetheless...

[milky_way]

RALLY TIME YANKS :banana: :banana:

[milky_way]

We're running out of outs Yanks...

Finally a hit.

[skippy]

DANGIT CAIRO!!!


end of inning... he grounded into a DP.... why the heck is he still the leadoff hitter after doing so bad this game.... we get our last licks in the top of the ninth... and they better be HUGE licks.... eww... doesn't sound right :bolt:

[milky_way]

YOU'RE ****IN KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry: :angry: :angry:

4-pitch inning?!?!?!??!?!?? :bonehead

[milky_way]

Jeter, Sheffield, Rodriguez will come up against Uggie in the ninth.

MUST KEEP IT A 2-RUN GAME!!! :Pray:

[skippy]

1-2-3 go the big cats, TIME TO RALLY YANKS :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

[skippy]

Crap, Graman's going tomorrow too. OFFENSE WAKE UP! :angry:



and take some legal steroids ;)

[skippy]

I thought in the beginning Lieber was getting his pitches way too high up..

look here:


http://www.addictsports.com/baseball/attachment.php?attachmentid=2152 was the basic areas his pitches were in the beginning of the game... after that he settled down... sort of

[milky_way]

I see a red x in a white box skip :notme:

[skippy]

http://www.addictsports.com/baseball/attachment.php?attachmentid=2152


see it there?

[milky_way]

Still not showing up :notme:

[skippy]

:wave1:

[milky_way]

Whoo I see it! :banana:

Liebs and Javy have been having trouble in the early innings for the past month :(. I heard Liebs doesn't like to warm up a lot before the game because he's afraid he'll get tired too early. His arm strength still isn't there yet :(. I don't know what the heck is up with Javy :confused:

one bad start, javy will pitch well his next start... :wave1:

lieber was good for a while.... I think flahrety was a bit confused as to what lieber had at the beginning, either that or bad communication

[skippy]

You also have to remember stuff about this ballpark, 3 doubles were hit 420+ feet, in Yankee stadium, if we did that, we would have won this game 6-4 or 7-4

[milky_way]

Detroit also had some long shots that might have gone for homers if the game was in Yankee Stadium...

I'm a little concerned about Liebs since it seems like he gives up a couple runs in the first few innings every start :confused:. Then he settles down, but the damage is already done.

yeah, the only reason he has a winning record is because when that damage is done, yankee offense usually makes up for it, not in this game though...

[Dark_Angel]

Dear Lord! :eek: You guys have seven pages of posts from today's game.

For some weird reason, my radio picks up WCBS now and I was actually able to listen to the game this afternoon. Isn't that crazy? I have no idea how we can get that station down here in Maryland. :notme:
